Toms River: Previously we announced a contest where OCSN was going to give away one NEW 19″ TV to make our fans Holiday season a little brighter. We began with one single TV and asked entrants to email the page at [email protected] to write a small one-paragraph story about how winning this TV would make your season better. So far we have received 8 email entries- and the contest still runs into next week. Each email is from a specific person explaining their hardships currently, and how especially during Covid winning a TV would make their life so much better. It is such a small gesture, but we quickly saw how simply just winning a TV was going to make this Christmas or Hanukkah really Merry and special for so many.

Now onto the part where we ask members of the community to help- if they are in a position to. The response and entries have been really touching from those who emailed us already- we want to help as many entrants as possible! So far OCSN has reached out to some private donors and has obtained funding to purchase seven ADDITIONAL New TV sets to giveaway. We have the original TV as pictured, and now through the generosity of local Ocean County donors- OCSN can giveaway more to those deserving. We are hoping to notify winners and recipients of their prize next week, and hope to make a Santa-type distribution sometime around Wednesday 12/23. If you are able to assist in ANY way, please reach out to OCSN today and let us know. Additional funds, actual TV sets, or labor in assisting distributing the televisions on 12/23 would all make this much better for our community.

If you or your organization is interested in helping this TV contest where we have turned into Oprah somehow- email Dave at [email protected]. You can send funds via Paypal, Venmo, or CashApp to our business and an OCSN staff member will purchase the TV sets and prepare them for the contest. You can donate or drop off ANY TV that is new in the box- something you purchase. Or we can talk about someone with a vehicle to assist in going around the area on 12/23 and delivering these TV sets to all the lucky winners. Right now we are asking for 19″, 22″, 24″, or 32″ televisions, preferably Smart ones. Walmart, Best Buy, or Target all have sets for $80-$100 that are working perfectly for our needy contest winners.

If you wish to offer help in any form you can, we here at OCSN can keep it anonymous like a Secret Santa. Or we can include you or your business/organization in the final story we write about this contest as a formal sponsorship. Whatever you are thinking- if you are in a position to help local Ocean County residents have a truly Happy Holiday season- email OCSN.

For all media inquiries, or for people to send us their story for winning consideration- email: [email protected]
For all inquiries about helping the event, or making a donation- email: [email protected]

A HUGE Thank You to ALL people involved so far in securing the first batch of 7 NEW TV sets! Let’s keep the true spirit of the Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa season alive, especially during this awful Covid season underlying.
